[quote=Anonymous]Interesting to read the teacher perspectives.  I think there is also a curriculum mismatch problem sometimes.  My kid is in a magnet program.  She studies like crazy as do most of her fellow students.  She has still had tests where almost everyone fails.  She says it’s typically when the test covers material that was not really covered in class or on the study guides/homework.  She’s also had issued in math where the study guides had errors in them — sometimes the kids figure it out and alert the teacher and classmates.  She has one teacher that is not capable of teaching the class she’s assigned (which I think everyone recognizes but the admin doesn’t have anyone else to teach it)—the kids are doing independent study to try to cover the material outside of class.

She’s started reviewing the Kaplan AP videos prior to the tests to make sure there are no gaps in what they covered in class.  Unfortunately, she had some bad hits on grades before realizing how helpful that is.

For those teachers reading, if there are additional things you think would be helpful for kids to review, please let them know.  A lot of these kids are killing themselves with study, but they may not be looking at the right things or studying in the right way.  Unfortunately, mcps MS does not prepare them for advanced classes.[/quote]
